Chapter 478: Searching for Kunlun
Three helicopters, in one go, unloaded six hundred tons of supplies.
Among them, there are hundreds of hydrogen storage alloy units. Each hydrogen storage alloy has 10,000 kWh of electricity. In total, there are 1 million kilowatt-hours of electricity.
Although one of the toughest outposts, there were plenty of necessary electronic equipment.
Modernized national defense construction has long been no longer relying solely on manpower.
All kinds of monitoring equipment, communication equipment, oxygen supply equipment, thermal equipment, radar equipment......
However, due to altitude sickness, many electronic products are simply unusable. Some phones won't turn on and have a black screen. The same goes for laptops. The same goes for cameras and camcorders.
Don't think that only living things can get altitude sickness. Machinery and equipment are also available. And it's very obvious.
The reason why many electronic devices are marked for use below 2,000 meters above sea level is because high altitude can bring some mysterious malfunctions.
The speed at which two hard drives copy data from each other is even 20 times slower than in plain areas. In plain areas, it may only take tens of seconds to copy 1 gigabyte of data. A few minutes at most. But here, it can take hours! Occasionally, it takes a long time to copy an MP3! It's only a few megabytes of data.
"I'll take a look. ”
Wang Buan volunteered.
It's not a problem with the software.
It's not a hardware issue either.
Strictly speaking, it's a matter of raw materials.
It is a material made of electronic equipment, and there are various wiring, which cannot withstand this kind of low pressure, cold, and oxygen-deficient environment.
Here, if there is no special equipment, boil water, and it will boil at a maximum of 70 degrees.
From a medical point of view, a temperature of 70 degrees Celsius cannot be sterilized at all.
What to do?
Of course, it is to improve the quality of raw materials.
Directly and radically improve the quality of electronic devices and ensure that they can adapt to harsh environments.
Robot Elf No. 1 moves silently.
Robot Elf No. 2 moves silently.
Two laptops are done first. Finally, it can be used smoothly.
Here, of course, private mobile phones are not available.
There are only special walkie-talkies, and satellite phones or something.
As long as it does not involve confidentiality, it has been strengthened by Wang Bu's security department. to ensure that it can be used.
Cheng Xiaoshan brought a lot of chewing gum.
This thing can effectively alleviate altitude sickness.
He thought that Wang Bu'an would need it very much.
In fact, Wang Buan didn't need it.
"Really?"
"Really. ”
"That's good. ”
Cheng Xiaoshan took the gum back.
As it is the westernmost outpost, the time here is more than three hours behind the standard time.
Elsewhere, it's all dark around 19:00 standard time. But here, it's already 22:00, and the night hasn't quite fallen yet.
It's dinner time.
Open the meal.
I added a dish in particular.
Today there are fresh vegetables.
Usually it is mainly vegetables such as soybeans, cucumbers, winter melons, and potatoes. There are not many green vegetables.
The officers and men set up greenhouses around the outpost to grow vegetables themselves. Self-reliant and self-sufficient. However, due to the limitations of natural conditions, the yield is not very high.
Now the situation has improved considerably. The Tyrannosaurus rex helicopter sent professional plastic film, as well as professional fertilizer. A water molecule synthesizer was also sent, which could directly make purified water. The flowing water can not only meet the needs of the outpost, but also create a small river. Maybe there will be some miracles in the future.
With enough electricity, enough water, a washing machine or something, it can also come in handy.
The refrigerator is the most useless. Putting it directly outside is the refrigerator.
A large electric heater is needed.
It was very cold outside. The interior must be insulated.
The group spent the night at the outpost.
Flying at night is less safe.
If it is not necessary, it is generally not recommended to fly at night.
And I'm not in a hurry right now.
After eating, washing, sleeping.
Entertainment is not available. That is, to play table tennis. But that's a daytime activity.
It's already after 23:00 p.m. and you have to sleep.
Hypoxia is still a bit of an impact.
Sleeping is not very adaptable.
It was very windy outside.
It was as if there was a whole band whistling outside.
When the wind is at its strongest, it feels like the entire outpost will be uprooted and then disappear without a trace.
It was about three or four o'clock in the morning, and Cheng Xiaoshan got up.
He was on an urgent mission.
However, the patrol encountered a special situation and asked for reinforcements.
The helicopter departed quickly.
"I'll go too. Wang Buan shouted.
"No, I can't. Cheng Xiaoshan shook his head and refused.
It was impossible for him to let Wang Bu'an take the risk. It's a real battle. It's real guns. Bullets don't have long eyes.
Heavily armed officers and soldiers boarded the plane in an orderly manner. Armed. The expression is serious.
Everyone was wearing heavy body armor.
Even though it was nighttime, I could feel that the atmosphere was a little tense.
Three helicopters, carrying dozens of heavily armed officers and soldiers, flew south, gradually disappearing into the night sky.
It's the instructor who leads the reinforcements tonight. It was the company commander who remained at the outpost.
"Company commander, what the hell is going on?"
"It's chaotic outside the border. ”
"Chaos?"
"Hmm. It's messy. ”
"Oh. ”
Because military secrets were involved, the company commander didn't say much.
Wang Bu'an already roughly understood.
Outside this outpost, it seems to be the border area between Pakistan and Afghanistan?
For a variety of reasons, there are always some unidentified armed men in this triangle. From time to time, there will be firefights. The other party also has a gun in his hand. Some are still outlaws.
Together with Tajikistan in the northwest, this region can be said to be the land of four wars, the army of four wars. Stand up to the toughest test.
On the public news reports, almost no one pays attention to what is happening here.
A skirmish encounter at night is the most common.
Vaguely, it seems that you heard a gunshot?
It doesn't seem to have ......
It wasn't until after dawn that the helicopter returned.
At this time, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning standard time. It's just dawn.
Heavily armed fighters escorted several unidentified persons into the helicopter. They were all covered with black cloths. Can't see what they really look like.
What exactly are their identities will be handed over to special personnel for interrogation.
The previous patrol also returned.
They were all very tired.
For them, a hot bath is the greatest luxury.
It's a pity that, due to constraints, this luxury is rarely possible. But now, everything has changed.
There is an electric water heater. Clear water is available. Naturally, the supply of hot water is endless.
This time, hundreds of tons of cement were pulled, which was to transform a lot of basic equipment and facilities.
In the future, more materials and materials will be delivered one after another.
The renovation of the Sanctuary Bay outpost will continue.
In the future, the patrol of helicopters will become more and more intensive.
In the near future, all officers and soldiers will also use helicopters instead of foot patrols.
The defense of the border line will also become tighter day by day.
Anyone who wants to harass Huaxia will be severely punished.
Take a day off.
On the third day, the helicopter returned.
First go to the Hetailan outpost and join up with the other helicopters.
The Heweitan post was the highest post in the whole army, and the conditions were very harsh. There is no grass here. Even the Tibetan antelope can't stay still.
However, it is here that there is a group of the loveliest people.
They have been stationed on the borders of the motherland all year round, protecting the motherland and the people with their blood and lives.
Where is the quiet time?
It's just someone who carries the weight for you.
If you feel like life is easy. Someone must have helped you carry all the suffering.
Standing on the top of the beach outpost at the end of the river and looking around, there was a loneliness between heaven and earth.
The other helicopters returned yesterday. They need to continue to transport supplies. Continue to replenish the various posts on the western frontier.
Now, only Cheng Xiaoshan flies in formation with five helicopters.
They also have a mission, to go to a certain pass in Kunlun Mountain to find the remains of their comrades who died in the past.
Five helicopters roared across the plateau and swooped down on the Kunlun Mountain Pass.
As far as the eye can see, there is only snow.
Reckless Kunlun, stretching for thousands of miles.
There are dozens of peaks above 8,000 meters above sea level alone.
Here, it is completely impossible to distinguish between the east and the west.
Only the coordinates are accurate.
I want to let others know where I am. Report coordinates.
Want to know where others are. Others also have to report the coordinates. Without coordinates, it is impossible to judge the bearing, and can only collide randomly.
Why do we have to launch the Beidou navigation satellite?
Because we need this coordinate!
Without accurate coordinates, many things cannot be done.
The missile is aimed at the target, it depends on the coordinates!
Airplanes and cars also rely on coordinates.
Before the launch of Beidou, there was only other people's GPS navigation. It is possible to be manipulated by others at any time.
Now, we are constantly strengthening the Beidou navigation satellite system and striving to improve its accuracy.
One day, it will surpass GPS and become the most powerful and networked satellite system on the planet.
"Is there a relatively narrow search area?"
"Three hundred kilometers from east to west. Fifty kilometers from north to south. Oval range. ”
"So big?"
"We judged at the time that there might be three wrecks. They are listed as Area 1, Area 2, and Area 3. ”
"Where to start?"
"We're now going to search Area Three first. ”
"Okay. ”
Five helicopters searched in the vast snow-capped mountains.
They keep their altitude very low, less than twenty meters from the snow. In order to see the traces as clearly as possible.
However, nothing.
Nothing was found.
Here, there is only a vast expanse of snow.
The heavens are white, the earth is white, and the mountains are white. Even the air felt white.
Here, the oxygen content is only one-third of that of the plains. If it weren't for the helicopter's own oxygen supply system, I'm afraid that the lack of oxygen alone would be very uncomfortable.
From time to time, there is also an inexplicable strong wind, which suddenly rolls up the snow on the ground and hits the helicopter.
It felt like there were real ghosts. Attempt to attack helicopters.
Wang Buan couldn't help but think of the ghost blowing the lamp......
There won't really be a nine-story demon tower down there, right?
Do you want to drop a heavy bomb and try it?
It doesn't matter how many layers of the demon tower you have.
Blow up the street first, and then you can talk about it.
